Author: I understand that most of you didn't like that there were undead in the story and that I wrote more than one chapter on a minor character. I won't make excuses or delete chapters because I wrote this because I love it but I will make less mention of undead in the future.

And I understand you didn't like the story being slow. Usually, with this amount of chapters, some authors may have finished writing their fanfic or are close to finishing it. But it is my way of writing however I will try to change that.

Some may think that the idea of ​​the fanfic is good, but it appeared to the wrong author. I agree with that but I will keep writing because I'm starting to love it and it has become a part of my life.

Anyway thanks for reading this.

*********

After that, the ghoul was tortured in the harshest ways by Alex, and then he turned the ghoul into a long sword.

The transformation is completed and Ethan stops sending the death energy to Alex.

Alex looked at Ethan and the horse slowly started walking towards him until he stopped right in front of Ethan, then Alex got off his horse and got down on one knee in front of Ethan. "My lord, you may call me Alex."

'After he killed his comrades, I thought he would be out of control but I was wrong.' Ethan smiled as he watched Alex kneel before him respectfully.

Ethan's smile widens as he orders Alex to stand up and then looks at the appearance of the Death Knight.

Alex is taller than Ethan by about a meter, that is, his height is more than three and a half meters, and the armor he was wearing is dark gray, unlike what it was in the beginning (pure white).

'This armor is really cool.' The shape of the shields is really cool and gives a prestige worthy of the name Death Knight.

On his shoulders were skulls, and on his shield and sword were also skulls, and the helmet that he wears has five horns.

There is a slight cyan blue light emerging from the gaps in the helmet, and Ethan does not know if this light is from Alex's eye color or something else.

The horse is also very large, with a height of 512 cm and an estimated weight of 3,148 kg. The horse is wearing armor of similar appearance and color to that worn by Alex, and there is also a slight cyan blue light appearing from the horse's eyes.

"Alex, I have to admit, I really envy you for your current appearance. You look very badass." Ethan smiled while looking at the shields with shining eyes, he wasn't actually envious because he could buy similar armor from the system or maybe better.

"I thank you for your praise, my lord." Alex put his left arm behind his back while placing his right arm under his chest and bowed toward Ethan.

"You don't need to be so polite, you can act more comfortably around me."

Hearing this, Alex nodded and bowed toward Ethan as he had done before, "As you command, my lord."

Ethan noticed that it was useless and decided to change the subject, "Now as to what you're going to do next, I want you to go to Baru Kingdom and help its people turn against the king and then I want you to kill him."

In fact, this is a request made to Ethan by Dragon, but that kingdom is far from them at the moment and it seems that the Death Knight has the strength to carry out this mission.

When Ethan met Dragon earlier and after their fight he was handed this task as a test of whether he deserved his daughter or not.

But Ethan chose to go to save the kingdom of Alabasta rather than save the people of an unknown kingdom from their own king, (mostly Ethan's desire to save Alabasta because of Vivi.)

"Excuse me for asking but do I need to go now? My Lord, I actually want to do something before going there, of course if the Lord wants me to do it urgently I will go now." Alex spoke very respectfully.

"Alex, what do you want to do? I may let you do whatever you want when I hear your answer." Ethan was a bit curious, and thought Alex wanted to finish something he wanted to do while he was alive.

Alex: "My Lord, I just want to completely absorb death energy on this island."

Ethan was shocked upon hearing this, after all death energy could only be absorbed from fresh corpses or from a corpse that was at least a month old.

It is like a limited period before the death energy is locked inside the corpse and as the corpse disintegrates the death energy will begin to transform into life energy and nourish the earth.

After his shock disappearance, Ethan looked at Alex angrily."Are you planning to kill people on this island?"

"I just feel an intense death energy stationed at a certain point on this island." Alex hastily started explaining because he noticed his lord's anger. 'It seems my Lord doesn't want me to kill people randomly so I have to be careful about this in the future. I also have to ask him who I can kill and who I can't.'

'Freya, explain to me what Alex means.'

[Usually, most of the death energy is converted into life energy, but there is always a portion of death energy that cannot be converted and absorbed and is collected at a certain point on the earth.]

'You're saying it can't be absorbed, so why does Alex say he wants to absorb it?'

[I don't know. Normally it can't be absorbed or even felt, because it is so well hidden by the Goddess of Death.]

'Goddess of death?'

[Yes, the Goddess of Death collects this energy when it reaches a certain concentration, it is present in all worlds.]

'Doesn't this mean that Alex is going to steal from the Goddess of Death?' Ethan became a little worried, he was completely far from God level.

[Don't worry, I don't think the Goddess of Death will notice even if Alex completely absorbs death energy from the One Piece world, after all death energy in this world is like a grain of dust to her.]

Ethan sighed in relief upon hearing this, then started to think of something different, 'This is really strange, how could a Death Knight feel something that the Goddess of Death had hidden.'

[I also don't know, normally a Death Knight wouldn't feel this kind of energy.]

'Freya, can I absorb death energy to become stronger?' Ethan narrowed his eyes as he asked this.

Hearing this, Freya started laughing while saying sarcastically.

[hahaha! Yes you can if you want to turn into a undead and lose your ability to have sex.]

Ethan sighed and then gave Alex agreeing to absorb the death energy.

Alex smiled upon hearing approval and then mounted his horse.

After that, the horse's hooves started to burn with a cyan flame and began to walk in the air as if it was walking on the ground.

After that, Ethan returned to the castle.

.....

After flying for hours, Alex arrived at a place of intense death energy on this island, 'It's deep in the ground, but I think I can extract it without digging.'

Alex got off his horse and landed on the ground, then put his hands on the ground and began extracting and absorbing death energy.
